UC Davis Bioinformatics Training Program

Bioinformatics Training from the University of California

Next generation DNA sequencing technology is touted as enabling the next wave of the genomics revolution.  Massively-parallel generation of DNA “reads” makes it possible to sequence entire genomes the size of the human genome, within days and for a few thousands dollars.  It also allows individual laboratories to do research that was previously only possible at large genome centers. The widespread availability of this technology is stimulating the development of a large array of innovative approaches to genome-wide investigations, but comes at the cost of sparse or incomplete training opportunities for these advancing technologies. We at the University of California, Davis Bioinformatics Core seek to change that by offering a number of workshops, boot camps, and courses focusing on various aspects of bioinformatics and biostatistics.

We offer a number of intensive 2-day workshops on RNA-seq, data analysis and visualization, and cloud computing with a focus on Amazon’s computing resources. We also offer a week-long Bioinformatics Short Course, covering in-depth the practical theory and application of cutting-edge next-generation sequencing techniques. Most recently, we’re offering a number of intensive but easy-to-digest 1-day boot camps providing practical answers and hands-on techniques to the hottest topics in bioinformatics. All courses provide ample time for personalized help from workshop professors.

Our bioinformatics workshops, boot camps and courses are perfectly suited to your learning curve through this personalized attention whether you are a scientist, academic instructor, industry professional, or graduate student.
